Scott Robinson, Tech Consultant and Bitcoin Startup Lead at Plug and Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale, CA, joins Kim Horcher to talk about the open source p2p currency. Bitcoin was started in 2008 as a response to the faltering American economy ; it is a unique currency system operated and checked by its users with an open source ledger available to anyone. But how does it work? How are coins mined and exchanged? Does the model have a predictable system, and is the system in danger?

Scott explains what the Bitcoin novice needs to know and the best way to get started.!
